  2. Healthcare cybersecurity breaches have put the healthcare industry in grave danger. Now more than ever, the healthcare industry has been falling victim to cyber attacks, which have put the lives of thousands in jeopardy.  According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), there has been an 84% increase in cyber attacks in the healthcare industry. The most menacing of these malicious cyber attacks is ransomware, which can lock up computer systems and coerce organisations to pay a hefty sum of money to release them.  With the health industry working at capacity due to current events, they have become an attractive target for cybercriminals. When a hospital falls prey to ransomware attacks, they lose access to vital IT systems, and hospitals have no choice but to comply and pay the attackers to save the lives of their patients.

  3. Electronic health records (EHR) and remote working Most healthcare facilities have modernised their IT systems and have started using EHR instead of the old way of storing records in file cabinets—about 96% of hospitals use EHRs nowadays. Although EHRs have made handling patient information faster and easier, they have also increased the attack surface for ransomware. Unless these records are encrypted, hackers can find their way in and take control without much resistance. In addition to this, many hospitals have opted to have a portion of their workforce work remotely due to COVID-19, which has created a pathway for cybercriminals to gain access to healthcare networks through Remote Desktop Protocols (RDPs) and initiate ransomware attacks.  Studies have shown that Ryuk ransomware has been targeting RDPs in the healthcare industry more than ever.
